Victoria Azarenka Boyfriend

While at the Australian Open 2012 a lot of people were trying to find out who is the boyfriend of Victoria Azarenka. Anyways, we have found that Victoria Azarenka’s boyfriend is Sergei Bubka. Sergei is a Ukrainian professional tennis player who is currently ranked 150th in the world. Ohh and did I mention that his dad is the world famous pole vaulter Sergey Bubka. Plus, his mother, Liliya, is a former rhythmic gymnast.

p.s. Does this make Sergei the opposite to a WAG?

Caroline Wozniacki drops Ricardo Sanchez as Coach

After only two months working for Caroline Wozniacki, coach Ricardo Sanchez has been dropped from her team. It appears as though the split was caused after Caroline’s father Piotr, still looked like he was the sole lead in coaching his daughter.

After losing at the Australian Open, Wozniacki has gone down in the rankings to No. 4 in the world. It is unknown who she will hire as a new coach or if she will hire another coach at all, but she hasn’t been confident on the road to a Slam win ever since claiming that number one spot. Her father Piotr is quoted saying that his daughter just didn’t get a lot of inspiration from Sanchez and he couldn’t handle being the one in the middle of the father-daughter coaching relationship.

Hopefully because of her drop, Caroline will find a new hunger to pursue her goal of becoming a Grand Slam champion. She actually has a good chance at the upcoming Roland Garros in May. Well known for her ability to play defense, on a surface like clay it’s really important to use the maximum amount of your agility to get to every ball, so hopefully she will have a breakthrough there and a strong record coming into Paris.

Maria Sharapove Is Actually Going to Play for Her Country: Great Pride She Has!

Maria Sharapova is actually going to play for her country in the Fed Cup next month against Spain. This is only the third time she will be playing for her country! How Sad! Its a real shame that tennis players dont seem to have national pride and want to play for their country any more.

If I was the Russian captain I probably wouldnt even want her to play, since she hasnt seemed to care in the past!

Victoria Azarenka: Day in the Life

Have you ever wondered what Victoria Azarenka gets up to on a daily basis or daily routine during a Grand Slam event? Well here is the answer.

Martina Navratilova States the Obvious! Caroline Wozniacki Wont Be the Number 1 Player in the World After Australian Open 2012

Martina Navratilova is really good at stating the obvious. She stated that Caroline Wozniacki might lose the number 1 world ranking.. well of course she is going to! It will be interesting to see who is the number 1 female player in the world after the Australian Open 2012.

p.s. Wozniacki really needed to get close to winning a Grand Slam to deserve the number 1 spot, but it never happened for her!

Serena Williams: I Would Have Not Have Played If It Wasnt a Grand Slam: Why Always an Excuse?

Serena Williams was knocked out of the Australian Open 2012 this morning in straight sets by unseeded Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-2 6-3.

Now she has come out with the outragous statement that she would not have played the tournament had it not been a major.

“No, no way. I probably shouldn’t have played. But no way,” Serena told reporters. “I never blame any injury that I have because I feel like she played really well and she deserved the win…Obviously I’m not 100 percent, and I haven’t been. But it’s no excuse.”

I find this a complete joke after we reported that after Brisbane she was in Melbourne early training and looked completely fine (she only twisted her ankle).

Sorana Cirstea Whips an On the Run Forehand Winner

Here is the hot shot of the tournament so far. Sorana Cirstea finishes a lengthy rally with a quallity forehand at full stretch.

Its strange because it seems like her forehand technique isnt great… very whippy!

Petra Kvitova – The Open Drive: Australian Open 2012

Petra Kvitova had a great 2011 and she sat in the Australian Open 2012 car to answer some questions.

p.s. Petra could be the number one player in the world if she has a strong Australian Open 2012.

Six Women Fight for Australian Open 2012 Title and World Number 1 Ranking

The Australian Open 2012 is the first Grand Slam of the year and it is going to be amazingly exciting. Six players on the womens side have the ability to finish the tournament with the World Number 1 ranking.

Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, Sam Stosur and Agnieszka Radwanska could also take the top ranking, but the No. 2-ranked Kvitova is the favorite.

Caroline Wozniacki currently holds the top spot, but with her poor run in Grand Slams I doubt highly that she will be number 1 when the tournament ends.

 

Laura Robson Gets Tennis Lesson From Jelena Jankovic at Australian Open 2012

Laura Robson didnt have the Australian Open 2012 that she wanted. Robson got a tennis lesson today at the hands of (13) Jelena Jankovic. Jankovic tore Robson’s game apart and frankly made her look like a rookie. Robson obviously is young and will have many more opportunities, but she really needs to work on her physical shape if she wants to compete with the big hitters.

Caroline Wozniacki Blogging from Australian Open 2012 for USA Today

The USA Today has Caroline Wozniacki blogging directly from the Australian Open 2012. Caroline is the top seed for the Australian Open 2012, but she is by far not the favourite to win the title. It will be interesting to see if she can find some form and overcome her Grand Slam curse.

Serena Williams Has Had a Date in Forever! Im Not Surprised!

Serena Williams has been chatting to Yahoo Sports about her love life.

“I haven’t been on a date in forever,” Williams she said.

“I can be super picky, never satisfied. It’s a little crazy right now because there’s so much going on that when I’m not playing tennis I don’t sleep because I’m always doing something.”

Serena I dont think its the Tennis, its just because your a bitch!

Vera Zvonareva Signs Sponsorship Deal with Fila

Vera Zvonareva is the latest player to switch sponsors, moving from K-Swiss to Fila. Fila already has some great players on their roster for 2012 including Kim Clijsters and Svetlana Kuznetsova.

I have admired the Fila brand since I was a young girl and I am thrilled to join the elite group of athletes that have worn Fila throughout the years. The Fila brand aligns so well with my personal style, and I look forward to wearing Fila’s tennis line in Australia.
